3. Voodoo Child - Stevie Ray Vaughn
4. Be Thankful For What You Got - Massive Attack
5. Man Who Sold The World - Nirvana
6. Respect - Aretha Franklin
7. Turn Turn Turn - The Byrds
8. Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies
9. Born Under A Bad Sign - Cream
10. My Way - Sid Vicious
Honorable Mention: Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright |

Another good one by Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Little Wing," original by Hendrix.
"Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley is great too (original Leonard Cohen. _________________ Rise above it, and go on through to a land of sound magic |

My favorite album of covers has to be John Martyns 'Church With One Bell', especially his version of Portisheads 'Glory Box' and Ben Harpers 'Excuse Me Mister'.
Dick Gaughan doing 'No Gods' by Brian McNeill
Christy Moore doing Shane MacGowans 'Aisling' and RIchard Thompsons 'Beeswing'
The Pogues doing Ewan MacColls "Dirty Old Town'
The Stones doing 'Just My Imagination'
great idea for a thread.
life, love & unity,
